V tpr' orie thins, the hearing of 'the troubles and woes of a number .of families for several hours "" a day- Is enough to drive the av- LvM l .erage listener himself to poverty. ' That, with the- many other problems confronting the members, Is more than most of us would he tv , .willing to stand. It Is doubtful' It any people In Amherst are doing a work more worth-while, and yet more unde slrable, than those men antl wo men. And, at the same time, It Is doubtful If any person, or group. f. persons, la gattlng aa little credit as they are. We have been, during; the past two weeks, looking Into the mat ter of the Community CheBt, and Its work, and, as far as we are concerned, there Is no less desir able pastime than administering that" fund. There are many unattractive, unpaid tasks around that must be handled by some one, but that job Is the least at- tractive one that we know of. The county commissioners, It appears, tried to pull a fast one this wek, but were caught up by an alert newspaper, and forced to amend their action. Even now It Is doubtful It the action Is in the Interests of the eounty. It seems that on Monday the board, decided to make another good Job for one of its political friends 'by changing the method of .feeding the county prisoners. By this action the sheriff was authorised to hire some one to take care, of' feeding the prisoners, at a Remuneration of 21 cents a meal. Amomber .at the- staff o-the Chronicle Telegram of Elyria began, looking Into the matter, and found that this would Increase the coit.ito the county for this Item !y, about SO per cent, tt.U extra money going to the party hired .by. the .sheriff, who in this ease was Mrs.. Adams, since he immediately hired her. 7hebewspaper gave this Information to the public, and the board then cut the figure to 16 cent a 'meal, which would still Increase the cost of feeding the county prisoners by more than IS 00' a year, oh the basis of the' number of prisoners fed last year. It looks like a pretty raw piece of political chlcancery to us, and the public Is entitled to know the details of the transaction. GIVING ERIE OF SIRMONI "Our- jQ reatest Need Better Homes!"

JINX OF FOUR YEARS CHASED BY ROOFERS Nuby's Boys Vanquish Lorain Team After Four Years of Effort In a bitter contest that got more bitter ns the game progres sed, the Nabakowski Roofers ac compllshed a feat that they have been unable to do In the last four years trim the West Side Bak- erB, of Lorain, formerly tho Out door Advertisers. This team has been a consistent Jinx to the lo cais, hut their reign was abruptly ended Tuesday evening. It was a fight from the very start, and during the closing min utes of tho gams it looked an though open warfare would break out at any time. The locals fin ally conquered the visitors, 17 to 11. The fight got so hot near the close ,that the manager of the Bakers, Mr. Waby, ran out on the floor and ordered his team off the floor. The players proved themselves to be better sports than their manager, however, and refused to quit. The locals Tuesday night wero the better team throughout most of the contest, and their Inability to hit the bucket in the early stages of the game kept the score down. Gormley alone mls3ed three shots by close margins during the first few minutes. At the end of the first period the score was 1 to 0 In the Roofer's favor. At the end of the half the score stood 6 all. During this time the locals missed j night out of nine fouls. Not a point was made during the first nine and a half minutes of play. With only half a minute left In (he first quarter, F.ddte Mens dropped in a foul. Soon after the opening of the second half, the Roofers dropped in two buckets in quick succes sion, Mens on a one-handed side shot, and Gormley one from just back of the foul line. Fitzgerald and Waby each dropped In a foul, and then the Roofers widened their lead to 12 to 7 on a foul by Sharp aud a basket by Gormley. During this time the fight was getting hotter and rougher, and the crowd was getting more and more excited. Perhaps they sen sed a fight, for there was a pretty fair crowd on hand. During the last half the Roof ers played a safe, cautious game, waiting for an opening and then driving In. By this method they managed to score five points while holding the Bakers to four. Gormley was high scorer with six points, while Oieason and Menz accounted for five each. Fitzgerald, with a basket and two fouls, was high for the Bakers. The preliminary game between the Mischka Candies and Grafton also developed into a great battle, with the locals finally losing out In an overtime period, after holding a 11 point lead at the half. During tho last period the visitors got hot and dropped In baskets fast and furious, finally tlelng the score at 24-24. Each team then scored from the floor to make the score 26 all as time was up. In the overtime period, Grat- ton dropped In two baskets and a foul, white the Candies were un able t get a single point The following is the Roofers- Bakers box score: Amherst IT a Jaeger, f .... 6 F 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 F 1 0 2 0 1 tl 1 E-4- Sharp, f 0 Gleason, f ... 3 Gormley, e 8 liens, g . 2 Henes, g o II.

The statement follows: The functioning of the Community Chest of Amherst Is a matter of public Interest. It Is the Board's conviction that the people of Amherst welcomo all Information concerning tho Chest Fund. Tho promiso was given in good faith to all contributes to this fund that thcro would be a fair and Impartial . distribution of the same. For that reason we have already published certain facts concerning tho Fund. Kxperienco Is the best teacher. Pafct experience has prompted i:.e Community Chest Fund Board to add another rule which shall govern futuro actions. Not everybody Is willing to cooperate with us. But they must. Beneficiaries of the fund as well as applicants must bear In mind that no luxuries nr dainties are available from tho fund. Rules without exceptions do not exist, so hero. Deviations may be necessitated by conditions. However, for the benefit of all concerned, especially for those who are receiving assistance from the Chest, a fixed list of staples have been carefully prepared and adopted, to which all Fund charges must confine and limit their wants.

Thero will bo a junior high preliminary, Kchettuled for 7:15.

It is practically tho same team that gave Amherst such a battle last season In tho closing minutes of tho game at Wellington. On the team is that fast little player. Jack Branson, who Is as elusive as an eel and n fine shot. To retain any kind of a rating in the league, Amherst must make a good showing against Wellington, and they will hnvG their work cut out for thorn. The Amherst high school band will play at this game. This is the first time the band has made its appearance at a basketball game.

Bodmann, Jr., Strictly Dty Goods Dear 1)111: A fellow who had Just been sentenced to ten years was being led out of court the other day when a sob-sister rushed up and asked, "My poor man Is there anything 1 can do for you?" "Yes," said the burglar, "you fan do these ten years." Every once lu a while some friend of mine says, "Nuby, If there is anything I can do for you any t . Just let ma know." Hut tike . from mo I never let hi in know. I would rather think ho would, than ask and find out ho wouldn't. So 1 ask some follow uhn hasn't said a word. A reader of tho Amherst News-Times wrote In the other day and ald. "I to tell you how much 1 enjoy your letters, I not only want to toll you, I want to show you. I enclose an order for some roofing and sheet metal work that we need. I suppose you can use an order now nnd then." O yes. brother, and now even more than then. A good many years ago, before the gas and power company was a common thing as It is at present, a fellow asked me, "Do you run your shop with coal or gas?" "Nope, neither one." says I, "with orders." Just because a girl doesn't tnlk very much about kissing (at least the Queen of the Bungaio didn't when I courted her), don't think that she doesn't enjoy It. And just because I don't say much about orders in my advertising, don't get tho Idea If you send ono In that I will get sore. It occurred to mo the other day that maybe some of my friends might be holding back because they thought an order might make mo mad. So I thought 1 better say something about It. One of my failings, If any is that I am always too darned modest. So, if you want to send In an order, Its all right with me. And if you don't thero must be something all wrong with me. Perhaps you might be able to dig ill) somo clothes, old or new, and wo are not going to be very choicey about them. Tho women who have charge of the distribution of clothes or what huvo you, for tho Community chest surely will appreciate It if you will have them sent to the rooms above The Amherst Saving and Banking Co, from wheio they will be distributed to the needy of our community from two to four P.M., every Wednesday and Saturday. Hopefully yours. A. Nabakowski SAVINGS BANK MEETS A spirit of optimism prevailed at the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Amherst Savings and Hanking Co.. held Wednesday afternoon in the banking room. The stockholders elected all of the old directors, and addeu three now members, making the hoard consist of 12. Tho new members are Wm. Bodmann Jr., W. G. Nord and Win. Spiegolberg. Raymond Sprague was elevated to the post of assistant cashlor. A very favorable report was made as to tho earnings of the bank during the past year, al though no dividends were paid In the last quarter. The profits wore added to tho surplus. The old directors re-elected were Geo. Hollsteln, M. C. Ken-deigh, J. J. Smythe, II. A. Wes-beeher, Lewis Merchant, H. J. Slppel, G. M. Parker. H. E. Dul-inago and Edwin Hasenpflug. Miss llomlco Claus, of Brown- helm, has been hired to act as bookkeeper and stenographer, it was announced. According to tho secretary, the last visit of the state bank examiner resulted in a highly com-mendablo report from that offi cial. He informed the directors that the bank was in very fine condition, and commended Cashier G. K. Thomas very highly on the efficient manner in which the affairs of tho bank are being conducted.NEED MORE OLD CLOTHES The clothing division of the Amherst Community Chest again makes an appeal tor more old and discarded clothing. Those has been a big demand for these Items and the demand Is still In evi dence. Any one having any old clothing is requested to either bring them in or notify any mem her of the committee, of which Mrs. J. A. Wesbecher is chali- man. This division has been a great aid in conserving the funds of the Community Chest. , ' For hfgh-aado job work ' at prices tltat are fair and 4 reasonable, see The Amherst News Co. CENTER OF THE WORLD" CHANGE PLAN OF Estimated New Plan Will Increase Cost to County More Than $800 The action this week on tho part of the Lorain county commissioners In changing the method of feeding county prisoners is stirring up considerable comment throughout the county. Under the new plan adopted, the contract for feeding tho prisoners has been given to Mrs. Clarence Adams, wife of the sheriff, and it is figured by some critics of tho plan that It will increase the cost ot this item by more than $800. The actual transaction consisted of giving the sheriff authority to let a contract to take care of feeding the prisoners on a basis of 21 cents a meal, or 63 cents a day. Under the old method, tho commissioners paid all food bills, and allowed 5 cents a meal for Its preparation and serving. Later the commissioners reduced the price to lfi cents. Immediately after the action on the part of the commissioners, Sheriff Adams hired his wife to take care ot this duty, wlilch, on the basis of the number of prisoners In the county jail last year, will give her a highly remunerative job. According to figures compiled by the Chronicle-Telegram, of Elyria, tho cost to the county under the method used heretofore has been 14 cents a meal, as compared with 16 cents under the new method. The commissioners, In an explanation of their action, declare that this new plan will eliminate the necessity of checking over all food hills by them before pay- mpnt, nnd would facilitate the purchase ot the provisions. They also stated they did not believe tho new plan would be any moro expensive than the old.

The fight got so hot near the close ,that the manager of the Bakers, Mr. Waby, ran out on the floor and ordered his team off the floor. The players proved themselves to be better sports than their manager, however, and refused to quit. The locals Tuesday night wero the better team throughout most of the contest, and their Inability to hit the bucket in the early stages of the game kept the score down. Gormley alone mls3ed three shots by close margins during the first few minutes. At the end of the first period the score was 1 to 0 In the Roofer's favor. At the end of the half the score stood 6 all. During this time the locals missed j night out of nine fouls. Not a point was made during the first nine and a half minutes of play. With only half a minute left In (he first quarter, F.ddte Mens dropped in a foul. Soon after the opening of the second half, the Roofers dropped in two buckets in quick succes sion, Mens on a one-handed side shot, and Gormley one from just back of the foul line. Fitzgerald and Waby each dropped In a foul, and then the Roofers widened their lead to 12 to 7 on a foul by Sharp aud a basket by Gormley. During this time the fight was getting hotter and rougher, and the crowd was getting more and more excited. Perhaps they sen sed a fight, for there was a pretty fair crowd on hand. During the last half the Roof ers played a safe, cautious game, waiting for an opening and then driving In. By this method they managed to score five points while holding the Bakers to four. Gormley was high scorer with six points, while Oieason and Menz accounted for five each. Fitzgerald, with a basket and two fouls, was high for the Bakers. The preliminary game between the Mischka Candies and Grafton also developed into a great battle, with the locals finally losing out In an overtime period, after holding a 11 point lead at the half. During tho last period the visitors got hot and dropped In baskets fast and furious, finally tlelng the score at 24-24. Each team then scored from the floor to make the score 26 all as time was up. In the overtime period, Grat- ton dropped In two baskets and a foul, white the Candies were un able t get a single point The following is the Roofers- Bakers box score: Amherst IT a Jaeger, f .... 6 F 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 F 1 0 2 0 1 tl 1 E-4- Sharp, f 0 Gleason, f ... 3 Gormley, e 8 liens, g . 2 Henes, g o II.

To retain any kind of a rating in the league, Amherst must make a good showing against Wellington, and they will hnvG their work cut out for thorn.

Bodmann, Jr., Strictly Dty Goods Dear 1)111: A fellow who had Just been sentenced to ten years was being led out of court the other day when a sob-sister rushed up and asked, "My poor man Is there anything 1 can do for you?" "Yes," said the burglar, "you fan do these ten years." Every once lu a while some friend of mine says, "Nuby, If there is anything I can do for you any t . Just let ma know." Hut tike . from mo I never let hi in know. I would rather think ho would, than ask and find out ho wouldn't. So 1 ask some follow uhn hasn't said a word. A reader of tho Amherst News-Times wrote In the other day and ald. "I to tell you how much 1 enjoy your letters, I not only want to toll you, I want to show you. I enclose an order for some roofing and sheet metal work that we need. I suppose you can use an order now nnd then." O yes. brother, and now even more than then. A good many years ago, before the gas and power company was a common thing as It is at present, a fellow asked me, "Do you run your shop with coal or gas?" "Nope, neither one." says I, "with orders." Just because a girl doesn't tnlk very much about kissing (at least the Queen of the Bungaio didn't when I courted her), don't think that she doesn't enjoy It. And just because I don't say much about orders in my advertising, don't get tho Idea If you send ono In that I will get sore. It occurred to mo the other day that maybe some of my friends might be holding back because they thought an order might make mo mad. So I thought 1 better say something about It. One of my failings, If any is that I am always too darned modest. So, if you want to send In an order, Its all right with me. And if you don't thero must be something all wrong with me. Perhaps you might be able to dig ill) somo clothes, old or new, and wo are not going to be very choicey about them. Tho women who have charge of the distribution of clothes or what huvo you, for tho Community chest surely will appreciate It if you will have them sent to the rooms above The Amherst Saving and Banking Co, from wheio they will be distributed to the needy of our community from two to four P.M., every Wednesday and Saturday. Hopefully yours. A.

CENTER OF THE WORLD" CHANGE PLAN OF Estimated New Plan Will Increase Cost to County More Than $800 The action this week on tho part of the Lorain county commissioners In changing the method of feeding county prisoners is stirring up considerable comment throughout the county. Under the new plan adopted, the contract for feeding tho prisoners has been given to Mrs. Clarence Adams, wife of the sheriff, and it is figured by some critics of tho plan that It will increase the cost ot this item by more than $800. The actual transaction consisted of giving the sheriff authority to let a contract to take care of feeding the prisoners on a basis of 21 cents a meal, or 63 cents a day. Under the old method, tho commissioners paid all food bills, and allowed 5 cents a meal for Its preparation and serving. Later the commissioners reduced the price to lfi cents. Immediately after the action on the part of the commissioners, Sheriff Adams hired his wife to take care ot this duty, wlilch, on the basis of the number of prisoners In the county jail last year, will give her a highly remunerative job. According to figures compiled by the Chronicle-Telegram, of Elyria, tho cost to the county under the method used heretofore has been 14 cents a meal, as compared with 16 cents under the new method. The commissioners, In an explanation of their action, declare that this new plan will eliminate the necessity of checking over all food hills by them before pay- mpnt, nnd would facilitate the purchase ot the provisions. They also stated they did not believe tho new plan would be any moro expensive than the old.
